Our Skilled Denver Breach Of Contract Attorneys Are Here To Help

Serving Clients Throughout The Colorado Front Range Region

There is, perhaps, nothing more frustrating to a business owner than a breach of contract dispute. Successful business operations rely on parties upholding the four corners of a signed agreement. When one party fails to meet the provisions of the contract, or interprets a particular provision for his or her own benefit, the result can cause serious financial damages.

Attorney William Zimmerling uses creative, individualized strategies to help business owners resolve contract disputes in an efficient and cost-effective way.

Frequently Asked Questions About Breach Of Contracts In Colorado

Whenever a legal dispute develops, it can leave people feeling very uncertain about the future. Here are the answers to some questions clients commonly have:

What are the essential elements required for a contract to be legally binding in Colorado?

To make a contract legally binding and enforceable, the following must be true:

• One party must make an offer to another in clear, detailed terms.
• The other party must agree to the terms of the offer (which sometimes happens after a counteroffer and negotiations are made).
• There must be mutual assent, meaning that both parties have the same understanding of their agreement.
• Both parties must be legally capable of entering into the agreement (not barred by something like age or incapacity).
• There must be consideration (something of value, be it services, promises, goods or something else) exchanged between the two parties.

Contracts are often challenged on one or more of these issues, especially when they are created without the appropriate legal guidance.

What constitutes a breach of contract under Colorado law?

A breach of contract occurs when the terms of a legally binding agreement are not met. For example, a product or service may not have been provided on a specified date. Or, the wrong material may have been used for a construction job. In some cases, none of the terms of an agreement were met at all. As a result of the breach, one or more parties involved may have suffered damages.

Can a breach of contract be resolved without going to court?

Yes. Fighting a contract breach in court can be expensive and impact professional relationships. If possible, the parties may prefer to negotiate a resolution without a trial. This could mean the nonbreaching party is paid for their losses, or a new contract is created to amend the original issue, for example.

How can I protect my business from future contract disputes?

The best way to protect a business from contract disputes is by having effective and clear legal agreements that are drafted without ambiguity. An attorney’s guidance is essential when your contracts are drafted.
